Urvashi Rautala, who was recently in seen Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj, played the role of a cop in the massy-actioner. However, her introductory scene was more of a sexual representation of women in cinema as she was seen in yoga gear, which left the internet divided.
In a recent conversation, the actress spoke about her view when questioned about the ‘sexualised’ portrayal of her character.
“My stance is that when I sign a film, I trust and believe in my director. When a character is written, it’s part of the story’s narrative. As actors, we can’t interfere too much or dictate how a character should be portrayed. Once we sign a film, we cannot question the director’s vision," Urvashi told The Hollywood Reporter India.
“Filmmaking isn’t just about my perspective, it’s the director who is the captain of the ship. Their decision is the most important. A director deserves creative freedom, and as an actor, I respect that," she mentioned.
She also reacted to the audience’s criticism of Dabidi Dibidi choreography and said that the song is made for Balayya fans and every lyric is crafted according to their mindset.
“When you look at my rehearsal clips, everything went really well. It was like how we usually choreograph for any song. I was working with Master Shekar, with whom I’ve collaborated before this was my fourth time. So it wasn’t like I was shocked or doing something completely out of the ordinary. During rehearsals, everything was smooth and under control. But honestly, everything happened so suddenly that it’s been hard to assess why people are talking about the choreography in this way. We didn’t realise it would be received like this because, during rehearsals, everything went as planned," said Urvashi.
